Join an organization where we actually encourage you to spend a little extra time building warm, friendly relationships with the older adults we serve. At Presbyterian SeniorCare Network, we want our PCAs to build those relationships and create meaningful moments while they provide direct care. Travel back in time as you listen to our residents’ life stories about their careers, families, and hobbies - some have fought in wars, others have fought for civil rights. These relationships are why families and residents love and treasure our PCAs.

Join our accredited, award-winning organization that offers a wide range of living and care options. You’ll make a positive impact on the lives of older adults every day.

In our personal care communities, you will work in a home-like environment that enables older adults to live their lives to the fullest in an atmosphere of dignity, independence, and choice.

• Career Growth: For PCAs who want to expand their clinical knowledge, we provide on-site CNA Training classes as well as tuition support to help you or a dependent go to school to earn your Licensed Practical Nursing Degree.
• Innovate: Be part of an organization that’s well known for finding new ways to solve problems. We were among the first to think differently about how to care for older adults and create new programs to help them lead more engaging, fulfilled lives.
• Be Inspired: Create meaningful moments while you provide direct care to the older adults we serve.
